Meet Our Family Pastor Brooks Ward

About this episode

What happens when student ministry becomes more than just a Wednesday night? In this episode of Between Sundays, Pastor John sits down with Brooks Ward, Rainbow Forest’s new Family Pastor, to talk about his calling, his vision for student ministry, and his passion for equipping families to disciple their kids at home. Brooks shares his desire to help students grow in their knowledge of God’s Word, confidently wrestle with difficult questions about their faith, and discover how God has gifted them to serve within the church. He also explains why family worship matters and how parents can make discipleship a natural part of everyday life. Together, John and Brooks discuss the importance of connecting students to the larger church body rather than allowing student ministry to become an island—and what it looks like to equip the next generation to love Jesus, know His Word, and serve His church. www.rainbowforest.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Watch on YouTube⁠
